The Martial Unity

"Fuuu..." Rui exhaled as he calmed his pounding heart.

He didn't want to get too excited.

He had been waiting for this day for quite some time. If he screwed things up because he was too excited he wouldn't forgive himself

He glanced at his personal schedule for the preliminary contest.

[Fae Dullahan vs Rui Quarrier]

It had been five days since the Academy pre-scheduled the remaining matches. In the following days after his fight with Feela Garron, he went onto fight Jane Francis; A powerful grappling specialist, as well as Avi Seth and Sahar Kal.

In his fight against Jane Francis, he had adapted his fighting style into that of a distant ranged striker with elements of evasive maneuvering. This was one of the best solutions against an aggressive grappler, range to exploit their weakness, and evasiveness to counter their only means of compensating for their weakness. He had eventually won the battle with a well-timed Flowing Canon which knocked his opponent out.

Against Avi Seth, he was truly tempted to use the Stinger. The Stinger was one of his trump cards that would have been extremely effective against Avi Seth because it inflicted critical damage while minimizing contact with poison skin. Allowing him to take Avi Seth out far faster than the poison would incapacitate him. It would have been trivially easy for Rui one-shot Avi had he gone all out. But he decided to preserve the trump card for when it was truly needed.

Instead, he took Avi down by abusing his maneuvering techniques and Phantom Step, carefully avoiding his palm jabs while also avoiding his arm guard. This turned out to not be as challenging as he expected, he came to realize that Avi had potent poison that he employed in tricky ways, but once Rui figured out the trick, the VOID algorithm chewed his Martial Art and spat out a counter-adapted fighting style which Rui used to dominate him start to finish.

He ended the battle with a clean ring out.

It definitely helped that he had spectated Fae's fight with him.
